Today was our last service day here in Haiti. We opened the day with Abbie trying to make
us a great breakfast for our last day which ended up becoming burnt, but we
love her for trying. Next, we loaded up
the Tap Tap and we bounced to City Soleil for our last two water truck stops. Today
was our first true sunny day. With the
sun, the mosquitos came out and they were about as big as the kids. We have the bites to prove it! It was great
to go back to our previous stops and see all the amazing friends that we made
on Thursday.
After a quick bite to eat,
we made our last stop. This time we were
able to carry the buckets and help the boys and girls bring the water back to their
homes. It was eye opening to see the
homes that these people live in and how they live their daily lives. We really had a blast doing these water truck
days and making relations with the young kids. After the water truck stops, we got to go back to our rooms and shower
(which felt amazing!).
Later on in the
day, we went to Gertrude’s. It is an
orphanage for mentally and physically disabled children. We got to swing, blow bubbles, and have wheel
chair races while we were there. We even
got to see a pet chicken!
Once we left,
we got on our swimsuits and went to the hotel pool a couple blocks down the
road. We got our pops and went for a
swim. It felt so good to cool off and
relax from our hard day of work.
Today
was our last day here in Haiti and I don’t think anyone in our group is ready
for this trip to end. We all would like to go a couple more days. We are so
grateful that we got the opportunity to come here to Haiti and help out.
